Funeral Directors and crematoria are required to keep an audit trail. The deceased's remains should be individually cremated and the ashes traceable back to an individually allocated time slot. So Dave's ashes should be demonstrably Dave's if you asked for it to be evidenced. Thanks Seymour I suppose you still have to trust that it has been done right....which I suppose it has most times. Always assuming it was the right body in the coffin in the first place, then yes. Considering which, burial doesn't solve your problem either!

I don't understand why anyone gives a toss about where they go after they have passed away. It's pointless.

Ashes? I will not be cremated. I had always imagined you would spontaneously combust Musik.

It would be remiss of me not to mention Keith Richards’ possible urban legend.

The missus and me have arranged and pre paid for our direct cremation with Co-op for less than all these new fry by night (sic) companies who fill the daytime TV advertising slots. We even got 25 quid discount for having Co-op membership (which kinda makes dying all the more worthwhile) We made our plans many years ago to have our ashes scattered in a special place by a remote lake in Mid Wales, where my parents have already been placed. Hopefully, I have a few miles left in the tank yet but I feel better having sorted out my disposal and will be leaving the kids some money to have a nice weekend break nearby, when they can do the deed and say goodbye in a much nicer way than watching a box disappear behind a curtain. This is where I'll be... come say hello I’m sure I’ll do something similar when I’m older, but it just sounds like a harrowing experience planning what happens after your own death. I do struggle (as I’m sure others do) with the finality of death. I’m a bit concerned the older I get, the more I will just think about it all the time and hence not enjoy my later life!

Bloke round here makes crab reefs for the local waterways.
Bell shaped mould in two halves. Fill with concrete, pop a few footballs in. Concrete sets, pull the balls out, natural fake habitat for crabs.
Quite fancy being put in one of those. No grave, still (a bit) useful on this earth. Neat and tidy resolution of earthly being.
On the plus side the soon to be next ex Mrs Maryland once said she would dance on my grave so a sea burial seems crucial.

I've held off on posting on here but I'd be happy with a cardboard box and transit van, I really don't care.
My old dears signed up for a direct cremation plan, no service etc just got to sort out where they want their ashes leaving eventually.
I'd had a conversation along similar lines a few weeks back and it got quite morbid. I've got no kids so all I need to do is outlast my missus and parents and I'm done. Now that could be in the next 18 months or the next 28 years, but so long as I've done right by them I'm not really interested in being here. It's not a nice place, it's not getting any better and I don't really need to take up any more resources by existing than I need to.
I'd be genuinely interested in what one of these euthanasia clinics would say if I asked to just knock it on the head, or would I have to go all Leaving Las Vegas instead?
I'm not someone who gets particularly depressed or has major financial or health issues, I just don't really see the point in being here past a point that satisfies me.

Mate, If you go then there's no one left to like Badges posts, so it's not an option. Saying that, I kind of agree with you. The world is turning to shit and things are becoming less and less relatable. When I go I'm getting my ashes sent to Ely, so he can roll me into a doobie, and hopefully smokes my anus.

You guys who talks about ashes and where to put it, does it mean you don't have a family grave where all the urns are buried then standing side by side?
I know some in Sweden prefer to spread it around in a special memorial grove as they call it. But it's not that easy to be allowed to bring it home.

Slightly off subject but did anyone ever watch Angela's Ashes? It's got to be up there with the most depressing films ever made.

You're going to Graceland, Graceland Memphis, Tennessee You're going to Graceland Actually, I'm half planning going again in 2027 with my son , daughter and family but they don't know yet! Might not come off. I can't understand it, but my daughter says I've put her off Elvis by playing a bit too much of him when she was growing up. I think she is just trying to annoy me I've been pondering your long suffering children and their desire to hang on to your ashes. I reckon they're each going to end up with a tacky crystal Elvis above the mantlepiece Strangely my lad who you met some months back was subjected to Elvis as a youngster as part of his musical education and liked the music and played a few CDs to the point of irritation ..... obviously nowhere near your spamming of the music thread
